Hello,
When the dialog of my CommandData is already opened and I re-execute my CommandData the InitValues() function for example it executed only the first time dialog open.
To re-execute the InitValues() each time I execute my CommandData I added self.dialog.Close() before the self.dialog.Open() function.

How can I do that without closing the dialog each time I execute my CommandData plugin?

class MyDlg(c4d.gui.GeDialog):
    def CreateLayout(self):
        ...

    def InitValues(self):
        Print("Hello World!")

class MyCommandData(c4d.plugins.CommandData):
    dialog = None

    def Execute(self, doc):
        # Creates the dialog if its not already exists
        if self.dialog is None: self.dialog = MyDlg()

        # Close the dialog if its open
        self.dialog.Close()

        # Opens the dialog
        return self.dialog.Open(dlgtype=c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC, pluginid=PLUGIN_ID, defaultw=500, defaulth=120,   
                                        xpos=512, ypos=128)

@m_adam said in Bake Texture within ObjectData:

bakeBmp = c4d.bitmaps.MultipassBitmap(512, 512, c4d.COLORMODE_RGBf)

This example helped me a lot. Thank you so much.

Hi,
Yes, it's the method that I'm using, but I don't know if this allowed or no. I explain it above in my second message.

And response to @zipit about "I do not know how to bake a parametric object" I mean: I do not know how to bake texture of an object (sphere) without make it editable.

Hi @m_adam,
I have a first button on my ObjectData that call my Bake Texture CommandData plugin (I'm using this example: py-texture_baker_r18.), and then from the CommandData GUI I run the bake texture process to bake the reflection channel of the sphere object texture.

@zipit said in Bake Texture within ObjectData:

tell c4d that the document has been updated

Hi,
If I go for a temporary document, I must to copy all objects of the current doc (scene) to the temp doc. In my situation I want to bake only the reflection channel of my texture, if there only the cloned object "op.GetCache().GetDown().GetClone()", there no thing to reflecte on my texture reflection.

# Bake only reflection
bakeData[c4d.BAKE_TEX_REFLECTION] = True

For that reason I get a black image in the bake texture result.

Mustapha

Hello,
Sorry I just see your reply, I have an additional question about.
As the Cloth Surface is available only in Studio version of Cinema 4D, I have added the condition IsCommandEnabled(100004007).
Is it OK or there is method to get the current c4d version type?

if (IsCommandEnabled(100004007)) {
     // Create a Cloth Surface.
     BaseObject* clothSurface = BaseObject::Alloc(100004007);
     if (!clothSurface)
     	return BaseObject::Alloc(Onull);
}

Hello,

I tried to use this example but I get the error: cannot open source file "maxon/job.h". And many other errors, I suppose because of the job.h that not included.

I'm using Cinema 4D R19 and Visual Studio 2015, should I include an additional library. Sorry I'm new in C ++ dev and there's a lot of things that I don't know.

Mustapha

Hello Manuel,

I don't know how much I can thank you for this advanced example and the enormous work. Good job!

I'm trying to compiling The Cinema 4D R20 C++ SDK Examples, I get some difficulty to setup Visual Studio. Actually I'm using R19 to developing c4d plugins.

I will return when testing your example

Thanks again!

Mustapha

Hi,
I'm using the command id number to add new Cloth Surface object, but I'm searching what the object id name to use it instead of.

// Create a Cloth Surface.
BaseObject* clothSurface = BaseObject::Alloc(100004007);
if (!clothSurface)
	return BaseObject::Alloc(Onull);

My object contain a lot of child object, it is similar to the SDK Greek Temple Generator Example.
